Ugh Marnie online airing out her child’s dirty laundry once again. Saying she doesn’t want to get a diagnosis from a psychologist and wants some ‘holistic’ diagnosis and help. Makes me mad, her kid is not giving her a hard time, he’s having a hard time 😔. I think I need to unfollow at this stage, it’s so upsetting how that child gets treated, all her spontaneous big plans and adventures must be total torture for him.
Yeah I hear you. Moving out of their home for the xmas holidays, but living next door in a trailer house wouldn't have been a good move for him. If he needs stability that ain't it, that seemed like a purely financial decision that didn't consider him.

That opinion of mine aside, it's difficult isn't it, without having ever met them and spent time with them we don't really know how Macks behaviour is and how he's responded to. We just see what hits the gram. Things like when they are left alone going and pissing on couches or matresses or whatever is what we see, not really how he interacts on a daily basis. I think, Is that them causing tit cos they have no boundaries or fallout when they do something like that, like how do their parents respond. Do they just get a kick out of it cos they get a big reaction and then nothing in the way of consequenses.
But what's going on day to day and a lot of stuff we don't see comes into this, so it's really hard to even have a 2c on it, because we don't see it all.

One thing I find kinda sad, is him being in daycare, and his parents knowing he can be physically violent with other kids, that's a tough one for me, they obviously feel they need time out but then he's struggling there and the teachers and kids will have fallout from that.

It’s the face when people challenged her she flipped them off with comments like, maybe this contents not for you, that’s your opinion, switch off, that’s your interpretation. She basically won’t acknowledge what she is doing sometimes is actually not correct.
Her ‘sassy’ is now coming across as more of a bully/nasty person.
Totally agree. Although to be fair, she did declare 2022 her year of aUdAciTy 🤪 So just back OFF and let her be AUDACIOUS okay?!? Sorry you can't handle the audacity 😘

The app chat is cracking me up. "Margaritas" is not a new concept, doll. This is what people mean when they say there's an "us vs. them" vibe. "MUMS have Peanut, WHAT DO WE HAVE?" Um, Meetup, Wink, Yubo, Bumble BFF, Friended, Skout ... or for her specific "only criteria to join is you need to be able to spontaneously agree to a night out for a drink with your new childfree friend", VINA.

MFM is actually beyond my comprehension.

- SHE HAS NO OTHER WORK RESPONSIBILITIES OTHER THAN BEING A STAY AT HOME MUM.
- And yet, she complains about having to shoulder the bulk of the “mental load” of the life she has chosen, and is supported financially to keep.
- She has extended family close by who seem involved and supportive.
- She “Vaguebooks” a post about mothers doing it without a village, heavily implying this is how she feels about her own situation.
- She has more support than many mothers who are working full time as well as trying to parent.
- She keeps pretending that it’s over 30 degrees when it’s only mid-20s.
- She complains about things that are completely within her control to change, as if she is powerless.
- She talks about anxiety and mental health struggles, and yet doesn’t seem to be doing any counselling or seeking help for these.

Maria. Stop talking to the internet about these things looking for head pats and “poor you” and do something in real life that will make your real life better. For you AND your family.

What does Maria mean in the traditional sense? Then to drop kids off at grandparents. Sorry but you have a village. She posts the most random things.

Also, Danni Duncan…I only watched her stories for the second time today when all of this popped off.

That “oooo I’m feeling clucky, quick, give me 5 reasons why I shouldn’t have kids” thing was so cringe.

Basically all of the reasons she gave were based around “ew…doing things I don’t feel like doing is gross and nobody should make me feel like I have to, and why should I be inconvenienced?”.

It all just comes across as immature and ultimately a really selfish view on the world. Life can get inconvenient, it’s kind of what happens when you grow up and deal with the real world. Work is inconvenient. Real friendships and family relationships often call on us to do things for people that we love that aren’t convenient or fun. That’s not a reason not to try, unless you have zero resilience and just want everything to be served up to you for your entertainment.

I mean, good on her for not subjecting a child to having a parent who is that self-centred I guess.

I thought what Ellie wrote about the whole CF thing was actually pretty good and it made me happy to continue following her as I'd been wondering lately if she was relevant to me and considered unfollowing (it was the Italian food comments). I unfollowed DD a few weeks back as I felt the CF content didn't quite sit right with me. There is just something slightly judgemental and patronising about it. Sort of like if you have kids you just wouldn't understand. It's 2 years since I officially left my CF life and became a mum and I guess I am still trying to reconcile my new life with what my previous CF life was and I just find the current trend in influencers smirking about their CF lives a bit hard. Jessie Guru's comments surprised me a little as I expected a better balance on the subject from her. Sketes were probably pretty predictable.

“Wahh wahhh I didn’t/don’t have a village 😭😭
Few hours later, kids at her parents. I don’t think she understands what having a village means lol
If you don’t have a village then get off your arse and create one! Leave your house, offer to be part of somebody else’s village, join a playgroup or music class etc.

Is anyone a member of anyones patreon? I was tempted to join the Renees because she used to talk about having lots of ☕ on other influencers in her stories but had a look at it ans seems like its mostly farm chat which sounds boring and also only audio diaries?
Who has patroons and what are these people writing about?? Is anyone dishing dirt?? Thats what I want haha.

It goes both ways. CF are judged by mothers as "you are missing out on SO much". Its also okay for mothers to post continually about their kids yet for CF its not deemed appropriate. Everyone just needs to stay in their own lane LOL!

I just read the comments on Ellie's post and wow Jessie Gs reads as so condescending. She uses hun twice in the first paragraph. So weird seeing this from her.

I felt the same- it just all feels a bit smug, I appreciated Ellie telling her experience, but to have a whole lot of so call influencer tell her that the way she is feeling is invalided is really tit.
I wish I was able to be child free and living my best life- I have had 6 pregnancies none of which have made it, I tried for years, spent mega bucks, every month was another negative test and/or miscarriages numerous trips to doctors, infertility specialist, hospital etc any way I won’t bore you all with the details but being childless by circumstance is awful, you grieve the children you lost , grieve the life you wanted to have, you don't fall into either group not a parent and definitely not stoked to be child less.
I think that DD fails to remember that you never know what some one else is going through, people are allowed to disagree with you- some people don’t get a choice it is just taken from them.

I am so sorry about this. I struggled with infertility for years and was luckily blessed with my daughter but I'll never forget the pain to get here.

So sorry people have said that to you because it is in no way true! Anyone can miss out by not considering alternatives in any circumstance. However, I think it's this 'stay in your lane' thinking that actually offended me from some of the CF talk (yes it was my choice to take offence and I sat with it for a while to reflect before reacting). I cannot fathom why people such as DD think that just cause I'm now a mum that I didn't once completely get the CF life and I would never judge people for not having kids (or even recommend them) . We are all valid and just because you have made one choice (or had it made for you) does not mean you cannot see the other side or even contribute to that community.
